Guidelines for the Creation of the

Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)
and Submission of Annual Quality Assurance
Report (AQAR)
in Accredited Institutions

Introduction
In pursuance of its Action Plan for performance evaluation, assessment and accreditation and
quality up-gradation of institutions of higher education, the National Assessment and
Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangalore proposes that every accredited institution should
establish an Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) as a post-accreditation quality sustenance
measure. Since quality enhancement is a continuous process, the IQAC will become a part of the
institutions system and work towards realisation of the goals of quality enhancement and
sustenance. The prime task of the IQAC is to develop a system for conscious, consistent and
catalytic improvement in the overall performance of institutions. For this, during the postaccreditation period, it will channelize all efforts and measures of the institution towards
promoting its holistic academic excellence.
The guidelines provided in the following pages will guide and facilitate the institution in the
creation and operation of the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC). The work of the IQAC is
the first step towards internalization and institutionalization of quality enhancement initiatives.
Its success depends upon the sense of belongingness and participation it can inculcate in all the
constituents of the institution. It will not be yet another hierarchical structure or a record-keeping
exercise in the institution. It will be a facilitative and participative voluntary system/unit/organ
of the institution. It has the potential to become a vehicle for ushering in quality enhancement by
working out planned interventionist strategies to remove deficiencies and enhance quality like
the Quality Circles in industries.

Objective
The primary aim of IQAC is

To develop a system for conscious, consistent and catalytic action to improve the
academic and administrative performance of the institution.

To promote measures for institutional functioning towards quality enhancement through

internalization of quality culture and institutionalization of best practices.

Strategies
IQAC shall evolve mechanisms and procedures for

and administrative activities of the institution;
b) Facilitating the creation of a learner-centric environment conducive to quality education

and faculty maturation to adopt the required knowledge and technology for
participatory teaching and learning process;
c) Arrangement for feedback response from students, parents and other stakeholders on
quality-related institutional processes;
d) Dissemination of information on various quality parameters of higher education;
e) Organization of inter and intra institutional workshops, seminars on quality related
themes and promotion of quality circles;
f) Documentation of the various programmes/activities leading to quality improvement;
g) Acting as a nodal agency of the Institution for coordinating quality-related activities,
including adoption and dissemination of best practices;
h) Development and maintenance of institutional database through MIS for the purpose of
maintaining /enhancing the institutional quality;
i) Development of Quality Culture in the institution;
j) Preparation of the Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) as per guidelines and
parameters of NAAC, to be submitted to NAAC.

Benefits

quality enhancement;
b) Ensure internalization of the quality culture;
b) Ensure enhancement and coordination among various activities of the institution and
institutionalize all good practices;
Revised Guidelines of IQAC and submission of AQAR

Page 5

c) Provide a sound basis for decision-making to improve institutional functioning;

d) Act as a dynamic system for quality changes in HEIs;
e) Build an organised methodology of documentation and internal communication.

Composition of the IQAC

IQAC may be constituted in every institution under the Chairmanship of the Head of the
institution with heads of important academic and administrative units and a few teachers and a
few distinguished educationists and representatives of local management and stakeholders.
The composition of the IQAC may be as follows:
1. Chairperson: Head of the Institution
2.

A few senior administrative officers

3.

Three to eight teachers

4.

One member from the Management

5.

One/two nominees from local society, Students and Alumni

6.

One/two nominees from Employers /Industrialists/stakeholders

7.

One of the senior teachers as the coordinator/Director of the IQAC

The composition of the IQAC will depend on the size and complexity of the institution. It helps
the institutions in planning and monitoring. IQAC also gives stakeholders or beneficiaries a
cross-sectional participation in the institutions quality enhancement activities. The guidelines
given here are only indicative and will help the institutions for quality sustenance activities.
The membership of such nominated members shall be for a period of two years. The IQAC
should meet at least once in every quarter. The quorum for the meeting shall be two-third of the
total number of members. The agenda, minutes and Action Taken Reports are to be documented
with official signatures and maintained electronically in a retrievable format.
It is necessary for the members of the IQAC to shoulder the responsibilities of generating and
promoting awareness in the institution and to devote time for working out the procedural details.
While selecting these members several precautions need to be taken. A few of them are listed
below:

It is advisable to choose persons from various backgrounds who have earned respect for
integrity and excellence in their teaching and research. Moreover, they should be aware
of the ground realities of the institutional environment. They should be known for their
commitment to improving the quality of teaching and learning.

It would be appropriate to choose as senior administrators, persons in charge of

institutional services such as library, computer center, estate, student welfare,
administration, academic tasks, examination and planning and development.

Revised Guidelines of IQAC and submission of AQAR

Page 6

The management representative should be a person who is aware of the institutions

objectives, limitations and strengths and is committed to its improvement. The local
society representatives should be of high social standing and should have made
significant contributions to society and in particular to education.

The role of coordinator

The role of the coordinator of the IQAC is crucial in ensuring the effective functioning of all the
members. The coordinator of the IQAC may be a senior person with expertise in quality aspects.
She/he may be a full-time functionary or, to start with, she/he may be a senior academic
/administrator entrusted with the IQAC as an additional responsibility. Secretarial assistance may
be facilitated by the administration. It is preferable that the coordinator may have sound
knowledge about the computer, its various functions and usage for effective communication.

Operational Features of the IQAC

Quality assurance is a by-product of ongoing efforts to define the objectives of an institution, to
have a work plan to achieve them and to specify the checks and balances to evaluate the degree
to which each of the tasks is fulfilled. Hence devotion and commitment to improvement rather
than mere institutional control is the basis for devising procedures and instruments for assuring
quality. The right balance between the health and growth of an institution needs to be struck. The
IQAC has to ensure that whatever is done in the institution for education is done efficiently
and effectively with high standards. In order to do this, the IQAC will have to first establish
procedures and modalities to collect data and information on various aspects of institutional
functioning.
The coordinator of the IQAC and the secretary will have a major role in implementing these
functions. The IQAC may derive major support from the already existing units and mechanisms
that contribute to the functions listed above. The operational features and functions discussed so
far are broad-based to facilitate institutions towards academic excellence and institutions may
adapt them to their specific needs.
The institutions need to submit yearly the Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) to NAAC.
A functional Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) and timely submission of Annual Quality
Assurance Reports (AQARs) are the Minimum Institutional Requirements (MIR) to volunteer
for second, third or subsequent cycles accreditation. During the institutional visit the NAAC
peer teams will interact with the IQACs to know the progress, functioning as well quality
sustenance initiatives undertaken by them.
The Annual Quality Assurance Reports (AQAR) may be the part of the Annual Report. The
AQAR shall be approved by the statutory bodies of the HEIs (such as Syndicate, Governing
Council/Board) for the follow up action for necessary quality enhancement measures.

Revised Guidelines of IQAC and submission of AQAR

Page 7

The Higher Education Institutions (HEI) shall submit the AQAR regularly to

NAAC. The

IQACs may create its exclusive window on its institutional website and regularly upload/ report
on its activities, as well as for hosting the AQAR.
The NAAC Accredited institutions need to submit only the soft copy as word file (.doc/.docx)
through e-mail (capuaqar@gmail.com). The file name needs to be submitted with Track ID of
the institution and College Name or EC number. For example MHCOGN16601-Samudra Arts
and Science College, Taliamegu-Maharashtra.doc or EC_32_A&A_143 dated 3-5-2004Samudra Arts and Science College, Taliamegu-Maharashtra.doc. The Higher Education
Institutions need not submit the printed/hard copy to NAAC. The acknowledgements would be
sent to the institutions through e-mail.

The Annual Quality Assurance Report (AQAR) of the IQAC

All NAAC accredited institutions will submit an annual self-reviewed progress report to NAAC, through
its IQAC. The report is to detail the tangible results achieved in key areas, specifically identified by the
institutional IQAC at the beginning of the academic year. The AQAR will detail the results of the
perspective plan worked out by the IQAC. (Note: The AQAR period would be the Academic Year. For
